show halter, horse tackNow that Halloween is behind us I can’t help but think of the winter season. This time of the year is wonderful because so much of it is based around family. Thanksgiving is up next on the 2010 calendar. A table full of family and friends all drooling over the feast is hard to not get excited about. Thanksgiving will come before anyone is ready. That is how Halloween went for me. It does not seem like more than a week ago we were moving into the first of October. Soon it will be December. My neighborhood puts on a great holiday fair come December. All the restaurants decorate, shops offer passersby all sorts of deals, an orchestra sets up in the park and the equestrian center shuttles people around in carriage rides. The horses are always decked out in show halters and spirited horse tack.

I’ve never taken a ride around the block but this year it seems like the right thing to do. The horse ride weaves through the surrounding neighborhoods where everyone’s house is strung with lights. It should really be something. Holiday horse halters are just around the corner.
